Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1600664A1] The arrangement has a supporting body, several peripheral gearwheels with parallel rotation axes at distances apart that can be adjusted so they are located on an imaginary cylinder surface, at least one outer row of elements (22) engaging the gearwheels and a rotary body (3) preferably coaxial to the rotation axis of the imaginary cylinder whose rotary movement is coupled to the gearwheel rotation. The rotary coupling between the peripheral gearwheels and the central rotary body involves one or more differentials to enable asynchronous rotation of the peripheral gearwheels. An independent claim is also included for a method of operating an inventive arrangement.
